I'm sorry you don't know who Lamar Alexander is. That's your problem, not mine. If someone posts here and pulls up a source I'm not familiar with, I don't whine about it, I look it up. At the end of the process, I probably know more about it than the guy who originally made the post.
A U.S. Senator pushing for more nuclear power is probably one hell of a lot more relevant to actually getting something done than some position paper from a scientist in some journal. I don't have to like that state of affairs, but there it is. The only real problems with nuclear power right now are political, not technological.
Wow, a Republican pushing for nuclear power? What a stunning revelation.
Instead of being a smartass, maybe you could ponder why the Democrats, who are supposedly more concerned than anyone about abundant energy, energy independence, and greenhouse gases, aren't pushing just as hard. Maybe their motivations aren't exactly as advertised?
If you want other sources, you could try Gwyneth Cravens or Patrick Moore. The latter also mentions Stuart Brand and James Lovelock.
